Benefits of Red Meat Protein and Weight Training

Benefits of Red Meat Protein and Weight Training - It turns out that the protein contained in red meat and weight training is the key to keeping the muscles of the body and brain to old age.

Researchers from Deakin University, Australia, found that a diet rich in protein from lean red meat with weight training is believed to increase muscle size and strength to older women.

In addition, the researchers also stated that the combination of red meat protein with weight training is also able to reduce the risk of aging-related muscle loss.

"The loss of muscle and decreased function of the brain in old age is the most common consequence of aging associated with a decrease in daily functional abilities and an increased risk of development of other chronic diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease," said Professor Robin Daly at Deakin University of Exercise and Ageing.

This research was carried out for 4 months by inviting 100 women aged 60-90 years who had previously asked for a diet rich in lean red meat protein (3-4 portion per week) and was offset weight training.

The researchers found that study participants experienced a 18% greater increase in muscle strength and gain an additional 0.5 kg of muscle mass.

Participants also claimed to have increased by 10% greater in the center of muscle growth hormone and 16% reduction in inflammation associated with muscle loss and other chronic diseases.

"We know that the protein stimulates hormone production center for muscle growth (serum IGF-1). This hormone is also necessary for the growth and function of brain cells, it is conceivable that a combination of lean red meat protein and weight training will not only have great benefits on muscle function, but also can improve the performance of cognitive and neurological health, "added Robin Daly as quoted from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition some time ago.
